WHAT WAS CLAIMED

Julian Assange has blamed the US for the disappearance of MH370 on Telegram.

OUR VERDICT

False. Julian Assange is not currently active on any social media platform.

AAP FACTCHECK - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange did not post on social media asserting that the US was involved in the disappearance of flight MH370, despite claims online.

Mr Assange's wife Stella has confirmed he's been on a hiatus from social media following his release from a UK prison in June 2024.

The disappearance of Malaysian Airways Flight 370 in March 2014 remains one of aviation's biggest mysteries. In December 2024, Malaysia agreed in principle to resume the search for the wreckage.

A Facebook post claims a supposed breakthrough in the mystery — the "shocking truth" was that its disappearance was linked to the US Space Force, and the claim had supposedly come from a Telegram post by Mr Assange.
